Mother's Day gift ideas for pregnant women

It’s such a lovely thing when your partner, sister, friend or colleague turned friend is pregnant, especially with Mother's Day just around the corner! A great time to surprise the mama to be with a sweet gift or perhaps even a party. Here are some creative, unique ideas to make the mum-to-be smile on Mother's Day.

Fun gifts for mothers-to-be focused on the baby

Mother's Day is a special day for any woman who is happily expecting. On this day, the expecting mum is likely to give extra thought to the baby in her belly and what her life as a mother will look like soon. And perhaps also about how she will celebrate Mother's Day in the years to come. It's always a good idea to surprise her with a popular Mother's Day gift.

Here are a few fun ideas to inspire you:

• A personalised book: Choose a beautiful picture book and write a loving message to the baby on the first page to create a lasting memory for both mum and baby.
• A personalised baby romper: Choose a cute design and have a sweet message for the little one printed on the romper.
• A baby poster: Design a personalised baby poster for the nursery.

Giving a Mother's Day gift focused on the baby shows that you are there for the expectant mother during this exciting time in her life.

The best gifts for pregnant women on Mother's Day, especially for her

A gift aimed at the expectant mother is also a good idea. Soon after the baby is born, she will be buried in gifts for her little one, which is precisely why it can be extra nice to give her a gift that’s just for her. Pregnancy isn’t always easy and often gets harder towards the end, so a gift focused on self-care and relaxation will certainly be appreciated. Here are a few fun ideas to inspire you:

• A soft bathrobe embroidered with her name: So the mum-to-be can enjoy a day at the spa in her own bathrobe, or enjoy a pregnancy massage.
• Engraved tea box with tea and glasses: A tea gift set will help her relax on the settee with a magazine or a movie. Have a fun design and text of your own choosing engraved on the tea box, such as ‘Super Mum’.
• XXL Milka chocolate gift featuring her name: Everyone needs a tasty treat with their cuppa and there’s nothing more delicious or fun than almost 1 kg of Milka chocolate in a personalised wrapper! Add your own sweet, personal message to make it one-of-a-kind.
• Luxury The Gift Label wellness gift set: Go for a gift set with lovely products to relax with and add a personal message along with a photo.
• Framed pregnancy photo: As a surprise, have a beautiful maternity photo printed for the mama to be’s wall.

Tips for organising Mother's Day for a pregnant woman

Roadmap for organising a Mother's Day party for your pregnant friend

Below is our step-by-step plan for organising an ‘almost Mother's Day’ party for her.

Step 1: Location, location, location

Choose a location suitable for the party. This can be at home, but you can also celebrate at a restaurant or in the park. Make sure the location is easily accessible for your pregnant friend!

Step 2: Send out the invites

Invite her friends and family members to the party. Make sure your friend isn’t involved in the planning; it should obviously be a surprise!

Step 3: Plan the activities

If you like, you can plan activities to add some structure to the party. Food-related activities, such as a baking workshop, are often appreciated.

Step 4: Food prep

Prepare food that your friend likes and is suitable for pregnant women. You can also ask that all party guests bring something delicious so you can all feast on a wide assortment of delicious snacks in the form of a pot luck. This will also help keep costs down!

Step 5: Create a gift table

Create a gift table with gifts for your friend and her baby. For gift tips, see earlier sections in this blog.

Step 6: Don't forget the decorations

Go for fun decorations, such as balloons and garlands, to make the venue festive. If the baby's gender has been shared, you can adjust the colour of the decorations accordingly.
